    any way of reviving this as a kind of general NFR tour discussion/speculation thread?? there's things i want to talk about but better not to give but i don't want to clutter up the individual show threads, y'know??

     

    what was really on my mind wassssss.... do we think there'll be any special guests for the UK leg of the tour??  :flutter:  lana doesn't seem massively close to many UK musicians, however i know she's on good terms with alex turner and miles kane and i don't wanna get myself excited but frankly i'd fucking DIE

    lana albums as seasons

     

    btd: season 10 of project runway

    paradise: season 7 of 30 rock

    uv: season 1 of the affair

    hm: season 3 of star trek: the next generation

    lfl: season 5 of teletubbies

    nfr: season 17 of dr phil

     

     

    agree with most but LFL is clearly season 7 of teletubbies, not 5. S7 aired in 2016 in the wake of president trump's elect, but the episodes themselves focus on being carefree, having fun and holding out hope even in the face of fascist turmoil - episodes like "silly sausages" see children having fun in the park, "sing song" sees laa laa make up a pretty little song that she then shares with the other teletubbies, "ballet" features dipsy and the tiddlytubbies dancing all episode long. when the world was at war we kept dancing indeed. however, it was not a season that completely ignored the cultural climate surrounding it - much like LFL as an album, it had moments of reflection and personal introspection. take the episode "reflections", for example - the teletubbies notice their reflection in a puddle (a statement on our ever-shifting climates, when you consider that towards the end of the episode the sun comes back out, shining bright as if its a hot summer day) then as dipsy bends down to further inspect his reflection in a way he hasn't before, his hat falls off and gets wet, emphasising the idea that now our titular characters are beginning to understand these personal investigations into their mind, their mirrored images and their entire state of being not only have an existential and philosophical value, but a real world one, too. while dipsy is undoubtedly disappointed to have gotten his hat wet, it urges him to consider how he can apply these internal ideas into external life, because these personal reflections of ours not only exist in the real world but can impact it too. change is a powerful thing, people are powerful beings.

    after some thinking and some time i really do feel like NFR is an autumn album (contrary to most people's opinions  :ohno: )

     

    NFR - this is pretty seasonally neutral i guess, but i interpret it as an autumnal or even winter song; the horn (?) sound gives me december vibes for some reason, and the lack of percussion in the song makes it feel like a kinda "stay at home and cosy up" track as opposed to a "get dressed get ready and go out into the world to have fun" track

    MAC - sometimes this feels like a summer song, but sometimes it gives me "sailing the stormy seas in cold weather" vibes

    VB - okay now THIS is a summer song

    FIILY - another obvious summer jam

    DT - okay this is another summer song obviously

    LS - kinda neutral, but the minimalism and emptiness of the track - particularly in the reverb on the piano notes during the verses - makes something about this song feel cold. but then the strings, for some reason, give me kind of a summer vibe.... so idk about this one

    CG - during summer the song gives me warm vibes, during winter it gives me cold vibes  :P  so idk

    HTD - straight up sounds like a christmas song

    California - this song defffff gives me sad, empty autumn feelings, nothing about it screams summertime to me, maybe it's something to do with the vocal style on the chorus?

    TNBAR - despite the lyrics ("topanga's haaaaawt tonighttttt"), this song doesn't feel like summer at all; the windy echoing sounds at the start of the song lay down a chilly vibe that the minimal, spaced-out guitar then emphasises, the sounds that kick in during the pre-chorus sound almost like the beginning of a storm and the chorus (which i love btw) feels kind of... strangely empty and cold?? this a song i can only really listen to in the colder months

    TG - this is another one that could kind of go either way, kinda neutral but right now it's feeling really appropriate for the more melancholic cold months. to me it doesn't really sound like summer, it sounds like missing summer.... if that makes sense

    Bartender - this song sounds like the audible version of snowfall

    HIAB - i do get slightly summery vibes from this track because of the subtle guitar and strings, but nothing major - piano ballads tend to remind me of fall in general

    Hope - a sad, cosy autumn song no doubt

     

    idk i mean i'm british so our summer is over pretty quickly and i vividly remember the day the album came out it rained heavily  :flop:  so that's bound to colour my opinion somewhat, but yeah, idk i just can't view this a summer album like say HM or UV

    listening to the album on my stereo rn as i clean my room and honestly, what a lovely fkn album. the only song i really skip these days is Love Song. even California and TNBAR, which i didn't care for before, i don't skip. it's so nice to listen to this album as a full body of work  :flutter: i particularly enjoy the flow from the end of Cinnamon Girl to the start of How To Disappear, it just works so well even though the two styles of song are different.

    I'm curious to see how her relationship with Sean-the-cop and its future will influence her writing for WHF. If they are still together when it's released, maybe we'll finally have a bunch of tracks on the record that will be about falling in love (and she might finally be happy enough to include fucking Yosemite) 

    i'm actually pretty curious too - is this the first truly "controversial" relationship lana's been in since her rise to fame?? i'll be intrigued to know if there'll be any lyrical themes of maybe like persecuted love, so to speak... i hope to god there's no "wE aRe OnE rAcE tHe HuMaN rAcE" lyrical themes or anything  :toofloppy:  but i doubt she'd do that anyway

    yeahh they're dating but i have no clue who he is? is he a singer too or sumn? lmaooo

    what a random couple omg  :teehee:  yeah he's a musician but he's kind of like... an ironic/troll musician?? like his actual music is legitimate (produces it all himself too i think? i actually really like some of it) but his 'act' thing is that everything's kinda silly and ironic, this interview is a good example. it's interesting to me, the thought that he and melanie might share the same sense of humour, i never pictured her as particularly goofy  :candy:

    Reading everyone's different personal experiences with this record has been so inspiring and beautiful. We don't all agree on things, but that's what makes it special. We all see things differently and I think this thread has done a great job showcasing our individuality and the different wavelengths we all fall under. Luv u all and luv this record with my whole heart. Lana has done a lot for me this year, from me winning the signed UO vinyl, to her responding to my question in a livestream, to finally actually getting to see her live in concert for the first time. It has been a magical time for me, and I hope that for all of you, it has been just as magical if not more. If not, your time will come. I assure you. I've been a fan since 2014, and it took till now for things to really happen. It's been a blast. Luv u all once again.

    this made me so happy  :flutter:

    She looks like she did on 2014 when she went to the beach with James Franco!

     

     

    henny, fillers dissolve in 6-12 months so the fillers she got in 2017 is already gone. She gets it done routinely, you'll see her cheeks deflate then gets bloated again. I wish she would stop honestly. I don't think she needs it at all. It also looks weird now if you can see she gets fillers between her brows to get rid of the bump on her nose bridge but with her fillers over the years it looks like it created the weird Y shape..

    images.jpg it looks especially weird in this angle

    oh my  :horror:  do you have any more pics that demonstrate this at all?? i never even noticed a bump on her nose bridge before. or do you have any idea what to type into google to see some related images?? a lot of people are shocked by her pre-fame to BTD-era surgical transition but tbh with you, i'm more fascinated by the kind of thing you posted above, like her BTD era face compared to her LFL-onwards face.

    on a mostly non-bias perspective, i honestly feel like lana hasn't been this relevant in mainstream culture or even internet culture since like 2014. DCMA, NFR!, Doin' Time, Grammy Museum Performance, and the tons of viral tweets about her/from her have all made her a more known figure again

    agreed!!

    i know she said NFR was gonna be red hot chilli peppers influenced and have that kind of vibe and obviously it didn't really pan out that way except for a few songs, but i'd looooove to hear that really come to fruition on WHF  :flutter: i love the idea of songs that can blend the intensity of burning hot, sexy, summertime tracks like Freak and Burning Desire with the psychedelic, lackadaisical vibes of tracks like Venice Bitch and maybe FIILY. a few lil cute folksy guitar songs would be cute too, maybe some desert rock vibes like we had on UV (i'm dreaming of more songs like West Coast  :defeated: ) and maybe even a cover of Californiacation or Under The Bridge  :flutter:  a girl can dream
